Which vacation rental software is right for you?
Actually, it depends on what you are looking for. Both Lodgify and Hospitable offer a solution for short-term rental property management but may not be the best fit for every business. To help you make an informed choice, here we compare Hospitable vs. Lodgify by features, integrations, pricing, and more.
Hospitable is positioned for short-term rental automation for hosts, co-hosts, and property managers, while Lodgify targets individual hosts and property managers. Both platforms support Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo, as well as iCal sync and direct bookings.
Pricing differs in structure and trial length. Hospitable offers 3 tiers starting at $29/month with a 14-day free trial, while Lodgify offers 3 tiers starting at $20/month plus a 1.9% booking fee with a 7-day free trial.
User ratings also favor Hospitable, with a 4.9/5 G2 rating and 4.8/5 on Capterra, compared to Lodgify’s 4.1/5 on G2 and 4.5/5 on Capterra.
Both Hospitable and Lodgify offer scheduled messages and AI-powered guest reply drafts, so basic automated messaging and AI-suggested replies are available in both platforms.
However, Hospitable adds several advanced AI automations that Lodgify does not support. With full guest reply automation, Hospitable can automatically send AI-generated responses to guests without manual approval. Automated upsells of vacant nights proactively offer stay extensions when there is upcoming availability. The AI assistant for performance analysis (Copilot) allows users to ask questions in plain English and receive summaries of financial, occupancy, and review data. AI-powered reviews automation prepares draft guest reviews after checkout using booking and conversation context.
Both Hospitable and Lodgify support team management and reminders, allowing teams to coordinate tasks and receive operational alerts. For self-check-in with smart locks, Hospitable includes this feature starting from the Pro tier with automated, time-bound access codes, while Lodgify only offers smart lock access as a paid add-on.
Hospitable also includes smart thermostat management synced with bookings from the Pro tier, automatically adjusting temperatures for guest stays and vacancies to improve comfort and reduce energy costs—this feature is not available in Lodgify at all. For dynamic pricing, Hospitable includes its proprietary pricing automation in all plans, while Lodgify requires a paid add-on to access dynamic pricing functionality.
Both Hospitable and Lodgify include core property management financial tools such as reporting dashboards, owner statements, and expense management, covering basic performance tracking and financial reporting on both platforms.
Hospitable extends beyond these basics with several features that Lodgify does not offer. Listing management allows users to create and update listing content across channels directly from the PMS. Owner payouts enable Hospitable to actually transfer funds to property owners’ bank accounts, not just generate statements. Professional accounting integration provides native syncing with accounting software for streamlined bookkeeping. Owner portals give each owner a dedicated space to view performance and book their own stays.
